It is true that in ANY and EVERY Eucharistic Sacrifice SOME of the fruit of the sacrifice would be applied to the souls in purgatory; but there is a SPECIAL FRUIT of every Mass which the priest applies as his "intention of the Mass" and this could be applied to many different causes: passing an exam; the conversion of a particular person; to obtain a special grace etc.

On All Souls the SPECIAL FRUIT of the Mass is applied to the souls in purgatory. Even more, there are three such special Masses that every priest can offer on that day for the souls in purgatory.

It would have to be said that in more that ANY ordinary Eucharistic Sacrifice, the souls in purgatory are helped today because the sspecial fruit of all the Masses in the whole world are directed to Purgatory showering them with special assistance.

Thank you, Father, for offering this Mass and for posting the beautiful pictures. Ah, how easy it is for us to forget our suffering brothers in Purgatory! Indeed, His Divine Majesty and Our Heavenly Queen truly know the answer as to how many souls were released from their prison by this Sacrifice. Ah, what about how many, TOTAL, were, and are, released from Purgatory on a daily basis due to this practice?

Great photos; I really enjoy the blog - I don't suppose you could be persuaded to update it a little more often? I know you're busy with your studies, but think of this as part of your preparation for ministry, reaching out all over the world to strangers and, DV, influencing their lives for the better.Every blessing in your studies; I include you in my prayers that you will all progress in your vocation to the day of your ordination to the priesthood & serve God and his people in that ministry with grace and compassion.Levi+

Antisetimism

"Mark well that in the Catholic Mass, Abraham is our Patriarch and forefather. Antisemitism is incompatible with the lofty thought which that fact expresses. It is a movement with which we Christians can have nothing to do. No, no, I say to you it is impossible for a Christian to take part in Antisemitism. It is inadmissible. Through Christ and in Christ we are the spiritual progeny of Abraham. Spiritually, we [Christians] are all Semites."
